Coal and shale desorption

Desorption of coal samples (cores) and shale is the basic empirical method used to determine the amount and composition of gas in coal (coal bed methane) and in shale (shale gas).

Environmental Impact Conference

Geokrak was invited  by Academy of Mining  and  Industry - Department of Drilling, Oil and Gas in  April 2013 to present during the conference called "Environmental Impact  Assessment during the exploration and  production of gas form non-conventional resources" our experience related to preparing the  EIA reports and obtaining the Environmental Permit for shale gas exploration. The conference was attended by representatives of  Environmental Authorities  from the whole Poland and  representatives  of companies  involved in shale gas activities. Our presentation  was  performed by Wojtek Scisłowicz to app. 70 participants, and  originated an intense discussion.
